The Longer That You Linger In Virginia
The more you long to stay
When you hear a loving tune that bluebirds sing
You'll forget your worry and then everything
For it seems to grip the very heart within ya
And it will cause you to break away
The Longer That You Linger In Virginia
The more you long to stay
